Chapter 1449: Emergency
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
It is cold before three in the morning and after nine at night. It is the hottest at three in the afternoon. Once we hit that timing, the weather is so hot and humid it becomes unbearable.
Although the climate has become more and more abnormal in recent years, it has been a bit too hot this year.
The pet shop is an old house. Although it was renovated recently, it has not been fundamentally modified. The heat insulation effect is still not very good, especially in places with dense water pipes such as kitchens, bathrooms, and pet baths. At this time, a lot of water vapor condensed, dripping and dripping constantly. Even the walls were wet to the touch. Even if the air conditioner was turned on, there was not much improvement, because there were only two air conditioners on the second floor, and each bedroom had only one. They were also running on a small power split machine, which had a limited cooling effect.
What’s even more uncomfortable is the low air pressure over Binhai, which makes people feel very stuffy.
“Meow meow! Going to the toilet is almost like stepping into the rain!” Snowy Lionet complained.
“Ah! There are bugs! Some bugs have climbed up from the sewer!” s.h.i.+hua screamed in the bathroom.
Early in the morning, the residents of the pet shop noisily clamored.
The old-fas.h.i.+oned bungalows and low floor buildings are easily invaded by insects in the summer. This is made especially worse due to the smell and feces of so many cats and dogs in the store, which is more attractive to insects.
“It doesn’t matter if there are bugs, aren’t those bugs in the sea more disgusting than those on land?”
Zhang Zian picked up a pack of insecticide and poured it into the leak in the sewer. As for the bug that crawled out, it was long unknown where the h.e.l.l it went.
“The bugs in the sea won’t crawl into my bathtub!” s.h.i.+hua frowned, unplugged the bathtub, and unscrewed the faucet to change the water in the bathtub. This is because the water that had been soaked all night by her and was already warm and not comfortable at all.
“Zhang Zian, you don’t need to make tea, I can’t drink it because of the heat.”
Old Time Tea stopped him from boiling water.
Like humans, when animals are older, their ability to regulate body temperature also worsens. Old Time Tea will lie on a small blanket in spring, autumn, and winter to prevent its belly from touching the floor for a long time and catch a cold. However, now, the small blanket is removed, and the coldness of the floor is directly absorbed by the body to alleviate the heat.
In fact, the air conditioner is already running at full power. Unfortunately, the shop area is large, and there are many pets, and sometimes customers come to the store to bathe the pets. When the steam diffuses from the bathroom, the air conditioner seems to be completely unable to work.
“Stop! I want to ask you something. San Francisco, is it really cool and pleasant at this time?” Fina stopped him as he was going to open the store.
“As far as I know, this should be the case,” Zhang Zian nodded. “The weather over there is special. It may be a little hot at noon during the day, but it is very cold at night, and it hardly rains. There will be a lot of fog in some places. Other cities in the United States are not much better than Binhai City during this season.”
As soon as she heard that, Fina’s eyes lit up. Although she didn’t continue to say anything, the implication was already obvious. If she was forced to say it out, the scene would be awkward.
“Quack!” Richard fell on his shoulders with his wings flapping. “I heard that San Francisco is a very open city, a vibrant city that belongs to young people, especially the LGBT community, where you can get equality and tolerant treatment, no matter what bold ideas you have in your heart. You can finally release your long-depressed wildness under the rainbow of six colors… ”
“Go! I don’t have any bold ideas in my heart!”
Zhang Zian raised his hand and shooed it away, although what it said was generally true. This is because the nearby Silicon Valley gathered the best young people from all over the world, San Francisco is indeed a city with a broad mindset. People of all nationalities, religions, customs, and s.e.xual orientations don’t wear colored gla.s.ses to look at themselves. However, that statement makes him feel like he was deliberately going to San Francisco to come out of the closet…
“A trip to San Francisco is not impossible, but you have to consider the cost-effectiveness of it-this time there is no scientific research team to bear the back and forth travel costs, and this foundation’s activities are purely honorary. If you go, you have to pay for your own travel expenses, including eating and drinking…Besides…” He glanced at the grey sky outside through the window.” Besides, the rainy season in Binhai is here, and maybe a typhoon will pa.s.s. I m worried that if I leave, the store will be blistered and filled with water…”
To put it plainly, they are all talking without thinking through the consequences!
According to the invitation letter of the Foundation, if it is not convenient to partic.i.p.ate in person, you can record a video and send it to the Foundation’s mailbox, so whether or not he goes, Cathy’s story can be known to more people through the video.
Vladimir said with regret. “It would be great if we could nail a wedge in the heart of the capitalist world!”
Wait a minute. Why did it change its tone to that of Zhen Yuan? It seemed that the weather was so hot that Vladimir’s head was made dizzy too…
In fact, let alone the elves, Zhang Zian himself also doesn’t want to stay in Binhai on a hot day. Who doesn’t want to travel? However, not everyone can simply leave everything behind and simply go on a trip.
However, there is not much time left for him to consider. If he decides to go to San Francisco, he must leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, he may not be able to keep up with the Foundation’s celebration, so he will be going there for nothing.
Zhang Zian opened the shutter door, and the staff arrived on time. They lived not far from the pet shop, but even though they walked a short distance, the back of their clothes were wet with sweat.
“So hot!”
“It’s so hot! It’s so hot!”
w.a.n.g Qian and Li Kun spat their tongues out like dogs and panted quickly, constantly fanning themselves with their palms.
Even Lu Yiyun, who is not afraid of heat, has sweat beads on the tip of her nose.
“Mr. Store manager, have you considered it?” Jiang Feifei cares more about Zhang Zian’s decision than others.
“Uh…”
Zhang Zian supported her in pursuing her dream, but after a thorough understanding of the situation, he felt that the feasibility of her interns.h.i.+p in the United States was not high. Even if those aquariums intended to recruit her as an intern or even as a regular employee, where would she live? San Francisco’s housing price has surpa.s.sed New York, becoming the highest in the United States. The rent is astoundingly high, and her family’s background is rather ordinary. Also, it is a foreign place to her, and it will be difficult for her to gain a foothold after going there.
He was going to persuade her to think more and not to act rashly. At this time, he saw Sun Xiaomeng rus.h.i.+ng past the door of the shop and did not stop.
From a glimpse of her through the window, he saw her yawning and carrying dark circles on her eyelids while driving.
After hiring a nurse to help, she usually does not go to the clinic so early unless there is an emergency.
“You go to the store first and wait for me to come back later.” He gestured wildly to the shop a.s.sistants and got them to start working.
He stepped forward, opened up his steps, and walked towards the pet clinic.
